    Was so excited, then the demo came out and I said ehh. Now I've had the game for 3 days now... What's the point of this game? It seems like a cluster of button mashing. All you do is guard areas and survive waves of enemy's gets oils within hours. A polished hollow game. I'd take my money back and wipe my ass before buying again

    The storyline has actually been pretty good so far. The voice acting and the characters have depth although the way that Tony stark is portrayed is not the best from a comedic stand point. His sarcasm just comes off as annoying and forced at times But outside of that his character is still well put together. The combat feels a lot smoother than the beta and It plays pretty smooth and iThe storyline has actually been pretty good so far.

    Однако пока мне действительно нравится то, что Crystal Dynamics делает с этими персонажами и с историей Мстителей, которую может рассказать разработчик. Меня затягивают части, в которых много видеоигр, и я надеюсь, что Marvel's Avengers перерастут в них, когда я продолжу свои приключения.Однако пока мне действительно нравится то, что Crystal Dynamics делает с этими персонажами и с историей Мстителей, которую может рассказать разработчик.

    There feels like there are things forced in just to add more and it was very half assed with the gear. The one thing that really upsets me is to get a skin you might like is 14 freaking dollars. That's rediculous. I would consider it if they were five but paywalls are just stupid to me. The game has potential and can be fun. It feels a lot better since the beta no doubt.

I can't help but feel like there is exterior forces being marvel or square who made this game be rushed because I can sense a little passion in here in pieces but unfortunately here we are. The story and graphics are pretty good, The fighting feels to be the better part but still nothing compared to other super hero games I have played. It's a shame games are released and then improved instead of being where they should be when they release. I hope things get better but I can't even convince my friends to play it with me because it costs too much for what it gives to make it worth their while.… Expand

This game occasionally has some great cinematic moments, but those are pretty few and far in between. it just feels like a case of "can we have the MCU at home?". I'm just extremely disappointed in what this game ended up being, don't buy. This game is completely emblematic of the problems with the industry with AAA games.… Expand

    The gameplay is so boring that the story of the game becoming uninteresting. Much of time is spent on weak enemies without absolutely any challenge and staying in that looping is frustrating.

    Marvel's Avengers is not the best game and not the worst game ever. I have had a fun time playing the game, but the story of the main campaign seems a bit rushed, when sitting back.

    There are the issues of the overly overpriced microtransactions, but it is not something that I care too much about, but it is a valid criticism and I would have appreciated that a Legendary skin didn't kost 14 dollars. Some people will be buying them, while someone will just go through the incredibly slow loop of ways to get cosmetics in the game without spending any more money.

    It is okay compared to other kinds of Marvel games in the past, but doesn't come near to the quality of Spider-Man PS4, but what did I expect? I bought the game, because I had been intrigued by the story through the beta and wanted to play more and I did like the gameplay, but I would have wished that it isn't so repetitive, when thinking about you have to do everything over and over again in order to get enough money for cosmetics.

    I had expected that I would have gotten enough units throughout my playtime, so I could buy a legendary skin from the cosmetics vendor, but I only got 2500 units and a legendary skin costs 7000. The grinding in this game will be insane. I just hope that the future updates and heroes will bring new fun into the game, so I don't get bored of it too fast.    … Expand

    This game is an awful. It has technical problems, gameplay and annoying bugs. The only strength of this game is having popular characters, which will not exist thanks to you, Spider-Man, who is a popular character for Xbox. Of course, gamers The Xbox did not lose much because the game is not worth that much.

    I've ONLY played the beta and it was not a great experience.
    The character's faces speak for themselves, don't they? The story was not that bad. the gameplay relies on co-op and is not enjoyable in single-player.aswell as the repetitive moves for heroes (except special moves.) the vibration on controller is so bad it ruins the experience. I don't like the battle pass and loot boxes but    I've ONLY played the beta and it was not a great experience.

    The campaign was good, not a masterpiece but it was better than I expected, also the combat felt good but sometimes it was clunky, but for me, the game was very fun even if I played solo and it had a good amount of content apart from the campaign that kept me playing for hours, maybe with the future content I will raise my score, but for now it still a good game.

    Believe the reviews. 4/10 is generous. This Game. This **** game. It seemed like there was no way it could lose. But here we go, watch it fail on every point. Look this game up in the dictionary under Squandered Opportunities.

    The worst part of this game is the story. Instead of playing as the Avengers you play as a new character trojaned into the main slot, a character you never heard of and don't care about. I call her Manhands, based on her power of making her hands gigantic. She is an unknown wannabe who spends most of the game fawning over a group she calls “the resistance". She is the center around which revolves a shallow, hamfisted story as boring as the gameplay it accompanies.

    In the first 40 minutes prepare to be lectured heavily with SJW cliches, the message delivered awkwardly and without finesse. Rote repetition of chanting mantras that were played out in 2019 take the place where an Avengers story should be. Awful story. Awful, awful story without craft or storytelling expertise. It just keeps getting worse the longer you play. This story is not fire. It's not awesome. It’s not intriguing, it doesn’t draw you in. The terrible cringe of the writing won’t grow on you. IT SUCKS! Hard.

    The gameplay is no better. Remember PS4 Spider-Man? You really got the feeling you were spidey with access to his unique movements and moveset. You don’t get that feeling in Avengers. No matter which hero you choose, they all feel kind of the same. What would have been great is a well designed level, where each hero’s unique abilities allowed them access to different sections of the level or approach challenges in a different way. Even Banjo-kazooie on N64 got that concept. But that concept is not understood in Avengers where everyone moves, plays and feels pretty much the same.

    The levels are mainly nothing but basic hallways, sometimes pretty, but you can’t escape you are basically in a square box. There was an old hulk game on Playstation 1 that had more hulk-like feels than hulk in Avengers. Square square triangle. Square square triangle. Over and over. And over and over and over. The longer you play this game the worse it gets. This game is the worst kind of grind, a boring and inane mashfest. A fact only made worse by the potential their exciting characters promised, a promise undelivered by the devolopers.

    It’s important to understand before you buy this that even though the game is called Avengers, familiar characters take a backseat to SJW inspired Kamala who is the center of the main storyline. THE AVENGERS ARE ONLY BACKGROUND CHARACTERS. This is a Kamala Khan game. Which would be fine if that’s what you bought, but you bought an Avengers game. You know damn well you didn’t buy this game for this spotlighted little chick, you wanted Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Widow. The stupid main character Kamala robbed you of that game. Even when you do get control another character, she pipes in constantly with annoying and disruptive chatter to spoil the mood. Seriously, Kamala Khan is one of the most irritating and unwelcome characters ever invented.

    Random villains show up randomly, just to pad the roster. Think it will be cool to play a game with all those old familiar villains? It won't be. Pointless plot structure. The Avengers themselves, when you do see them look less like a movie or comic book counterpart and more like millenial day at the cosplay convention. Except cosplayers would look much better. These soy-soaked Avengers-style placeholders don't look heroic. Maybe it's a blessing you don't really get to play as them that often.
    Love microtransactions? so does marvel/square-enix! Really really love them! A lot! Don’t worry about it though, after playing this crapfest a bit you won’t be back to purchase more.

    This is by far the worst Square-enix game I have ever played. I wanted to love it. But the idiots that made this just weren't going to let that happen. The fact that they are locking out reviews after the game has been made playable is proof they don’t want the verdict on this game revealed. It’s bad. I can’t believe this is from Square, it is a game so far below their normal standards they should be ashamed. Go ahead, don't believe it. After all, you like the Avengers. So did I, friend. So did I. Don't cry you weren't warned. This is the worst game I have played all year, the biggest disappointment of 2020.    … Expand

It feels like a game created with monetary gain first and artistic expression second.

    Imagine if we were given a single player only marvel’s avengers game that allowed you free reign over the entire city of new york in the same vein as marvel’s spiderman, receiving incoming transmissions from the other avengers of thugs robbing banks, enemies like loki, taskmaster, norman osbourne or even thanos running amok and causing chaos. Being able to switch back and forth between a wide array of avengers as you aim to accomplish those missions, deciding between doing the mission alone or even being able to call in other avengers to assist you if it gets too difficult. Don’t you think that would have been a way better avengers game than what we got? It can be fun at times but with this repetitive structure, it gets old fast and that’s disappointing    … Expand

    It could’ve been a great single player title. The publisher chose to go down the game as a service path though, and those who prefer to play solo need to tackle run-of-the-mill co-op missions. The multiplayer on the other hand is messy, chaotic and in the long run boring. When the developers manage to fix the most pressing bugs and find a way to bring more variety to co-op, this might become a solid game. Right now, I can only recommend it to the biggest fans of the Avengers. [11/2020, p.26]

    This is the perfect example of "Games as a Service" done right. Marvel's Avengers offers up a superb campaign story to play through that is promised to be expanded on in the future. The gameplay may be repetitive, but it includes just enough to keep players interested and invested in the endgame content that is available now to keep this game going until the next step in its roadmap. The possibilities and potential in the future here are hugely exciting.

    There have been plenty of moments during my time with Marvel's Avengers where I’ve genuinely had a great time. But this game keeps finding ways to drag itself down- at times it almost feels like it goes out of its way to do so. There’s just so much here that I can’t overlook, no matter how hard I may try. An unnecessary and broken loot system, a litany of horrible technical issues, uninspired and one-note mission design, and a story that fails just as much as it succeeds- it doesn’t matter how mindlessly fun the combat is, it isn't enough to overcome such a heavy list of problems.
